Subject: Violinist Data-base
Date Posted: December 21 2007 at 08:10
As the local search engine has failed to regurgitate the original thread, I'm starting a new one on violin players in the rock, folk and jazz fields. As this has not been updated since May 2007, there are clearly omissions, so the usual requests: please name violinists omitted, giving full name, band(s) or guest appearance (and if possible name an album which is representative of the artist's playing -especially the more obscure volinists). [I know I have to add all the members of Stringfever].

Regina Carter, a classically trained jazz violinist. She can produce a beautiful tone from a violin. Checkout "Freefall", a duet cd with Regina and jazz pianist Kenny Barron. Or for something really special listen to "Paganini: After a Dream" cd.

Many thanks for the numerous additions in the last few hours -I think with those I've been storing up, there are ~15 new additions on the updated data base below. There are also several pieces of additional information added wrt violists previously listed. I've added a section on string quartets (I think I've come across 3 new - to me - groups in the last 12 months) - also a lazy way of listing these artists without losing the individuals in the main list.

Dick, I presume you have recognized Eddie Jobson but who is who on your picture ?
For the database: Sylvia Houtzager - Flairck (best Dutch prog folk band ever, I have seen them in the late Seventies and early Eighties at least 10 times, every concert was a memorable experience).

I see Gary Husband in addition to Jerry Goodman. Mr. Heath in the middle, I presume.
By the way excellent list there, as much as a rack my brain, I can't come up with anyone not mentioned.
Man, Scarlet Rivera!, I've got a couple of her solo albums I haven't heard in years (Scarlet Fever and maybe her debut). Certainly had her proggy moments on those. Did not know she worked with Dylan.
Wait, I got one, Stuff Smith from Jazz Violin Summit with Ponty and Grappelli. One more, Ryan Delahoussaye, Blue October.

I notice Susie Honeyman is missing. She played for Echo City, a band which is LONG OVERDUE to be in the archives. Guy Evans of Van der Graaf Generator was a member of Echo City too. But he did not play violin.

This "database" was started several years ago when there was this perrential complaint on PA that there were so few violinists in rock: usually the suggestion was <10!!! I knew was way less than the truth and wanted to prove different. Fortunately I didn't post the only copy on PA - these things disappear into black holes, never to reappear - so I have gone back to the master file in my PC, added to it and twice reintroduced the thread. I have to thank all those who have contributed and moved (I guess) my original list of 40 violinists towards 150 (including those who have come in today and here:
Wait, I got one, Stuff Smith from Jazz Violin Summit with Ponty and Grappelli. One more, Ryan Delahoussaye, Blue October.
There have been other attempts to create databases here of musicians playing less common musical instruments - but the harmonium list has disappeared!!!

Yes - the tight trousers and tie gives him away.....
As mentioned wrt to my photo's line-up:
Gary Husband: drums & grande piano
Dick Heath: camera, Walkman, MD-recorder (I interviewed Husband for my radioshow, but Goodman refused to speak into the microphone, but was otherwise very chatty. I gleaned off him to the Question: 'Who's the best rock violinist?', the answer: 'Me', (which was confirmed when I asked David Cross the same question 9 months later).
Jerry Goodman: electric violin
Photo taken on my camera by Goodman's technician.
Here's the full Force Majeure line in rehearsal at Birmigham (the English midland's city!!!) early 2003, when I and a couple of other fans were allowed to wander free around the band and take pictures (challenge: put names to the rest of Force Majeure):

Yes - the tight trousers and tie gives him away.....
As mentioned wrt to my photo's line-up:
Gary Husband: drums & grande piano
Dick Heath: camera, Walkman, MD-recorder (I interviewed Husband for my radioshow, but Goodman refused to speak into the microphone, but was otherwise very chatty. I gleaned off him to the Question: 'Who's the best rock violinist?', the answer: 'Me', (which was confirmed when I asked David Cross the same question 9 months later).
Jerry Goodman: electric violin
Photo taken on my camera by Goodman's technician.
Here's the full Force Majeure line in rehearsal at Birmingham (the English Midland's city!!!) early 2003, when I and a couple of other fans were allowed to wander free around the band and take pictures (challenge: put names to the rest of Force Majeure):

Nice pictures, Dick, it's a fine embellishement to this floroushing thread
This afternoon I had some time to take a dive into my progrock collection and progrock encyclopedia in order to support your violin database idea, this is the result:
- Claudio Criello – guest on eponymous Abiogenesi debut album (Italy)
- Peter Pejtsik - violincello on DVD Live by After Crying (Hungary)
- Branislav Grbic – violin on album Sol De Medianoche by Amarok (Spain)
- Mariano Schiavolini – violin on first album by Celeste (Italy)
- Junko Minobe – violin on eponymous debut album by Cinderella Search (Japan)
- Jean-Philippe Brun - violin in Halloween (France)
- Christoph Noppeney - viola on Live Traumstadt by Hoelderlin (Germany) p.s.: viola, not violin,
is this a problem to you?
- Eigo Utoh – violin in Midas (Japan)
- Enrico Professione / violin, Pieregidio Spiller – violin and Riccardo Perraro – cello on first
album by Opus Avantra (Italy)
- Hollis Brown - electric violin in Ozone Quartet (USA)
- Thomas Schmitt – violin in Pell Mell (Germany)
- Nick Blaser – violin, guest musician on After The Silence by Pythagoras (Holland)
- Donald Lax - electric & acoustic violin in Quella Vecchia Locanda (Italy)
- Lennart Glenberg – violin in Zello (Sweden)
P.s.: I had no time to check or these musicians are already in your database, sorry but I hope many of the abovementioned violin (or viola or violincello) players are a welcome addition!

Now you know why me and my wife have decided not to take children Good idea to make an update because it's more clear to check out the musicians.
I presume players on the violincello and the viola are also invited
to join your database (I am a huge Hoederlin fan )

A personal note Dick because of my passion for the violin: when I was at school (12-18 years) every month a folk band or folk musicians were invited in the aula of our school to make music and one of the musicians was Rumanian violinplayer Gregor Serban and the Balkan folk music carried me away to Folkprog Heaven, later I started to listen to Yehudi Menuhin, Jerry Goodman, JL Ponty and Eddie Jobson, my hero, Viva! by Roxy Music is one of my favorite live albums, thanks to his contribution on the violin (I have seen him twice: with UK and Jethro Tull).

"Four strings across the bridge,
Ready to carry me over,
Over the quavers, drunk in the bars,
Out of the realm of the orchestra,
Out of the realm of the orchestra,
Filling me up with the shivers,
Filling me up with the shivers and quivers,
Filling me up with the shivers.
Get the bow going, let it scream to me,
Violin, Violin, Violin,
Paganini up on the chimney,
Lord of the Dance with Nero and old Nicky,
Whack that Devil
Into my fiddlestick,
Give me the Banshees for B.V's,
Give me the Banshees for B.V's,
Jigging along with the fiddle, ooh, Johnny,
Jigging along with the fiddle-dee-dee,
Jigging along with the fiddle-dee-diddle-dee-dee." Kate Bush
which reminds me Kevin Burke played the violin on that song.

I'd like to mention that Christoph Krieger of Aera is co-founder of Neue Aera, a follow-up band to Aera. "Aera", by the way, is German for "Era", so "Neue Aera" is "New Era". Muck Groh, guitar player of Aera, also is a member. here a link to their homepage: http://www.neueaera.de/ - http://www.neueaera.de/ and here a link to their MySpace page, where you can hear a few sound examples: http://www.myspace.com/dieneueaera - http://www.myspace.com/dieneueaera I hope they will be in the archives soon.

Check: she is on on each the data base lists published on this thread and therefore probably been included on the previous now lost(?) thread

Might've been mentioned already, but how about Don "sugarcane" harris. He played on several Mothers of Invention albums, as well as some of Zappa's solo work, in addition to his own extensive career.

Great violinist and indeed listed on the data base from the very start. I'm trying to think whether Harris or Papa John Crech (some how get the two combined in my mind - as I discovered their music about the same time) have had a number of solo albums issued on CD recently - possibly by the German label MPS/SPV???
Checking:
http://www.promising-music.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage&product_id=22&category_id=1&manufacturer_id=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=35">
and Robert Wyatt (drums) & Terj Rypdal (guitar) guesting.....
And just discovered this gem of a site:
